<p>Does Columbia have a list of acceptance rates by major or school (CC versus GS)? And if possible, first-year acceptance rates vs transfer rates for those areas.</p>
<p>No. I think this is the closest you’ll find: [Planning</a> and Institutional Research Office of the Provost](<a href=“http://www.columbia.edu/cu/opir/abstract.html]Planning”>http://www.columbia.edu/cu/opir/abstract.html)</p>
<p>There is however a way to “guesstimate” the acceptance rates by Major. Columbia ultimately need to send its students to either grad school, law school, med school, or an occupation of some sorts. </p>
<p>You can research the field you are interested in and check the current market for the demand. Computer science and Computer engineering are two of the most recruited majors. Before I chose to the come to Columbia, the chair of the CE department actually called me to talk more about the school and program. </p>
<p>Position yourself with a “hot” major will likely increase your chances.</p>
